A book wrapped in white Kivar 7 from Neenah Paper. It has the title Eminence stenciled on the spine in blue acrylic paint.
Book opened up to show off endpapers. They are paste paper made with pearlescent blue acrylic paint and burnished with beeswax.
The edges of the book are painted pearlescent blue. The endbands are made of the same material as the cover wrapped around a hemp cord.
Spread showing the full title page of the book (Eminence by SporeFrog) and the chapter openings of all 14 chapters of the book. Each opening has a different gemstone/mineral edited blue behind the body text.
Looking for a very spicy JazzProwl bodice ripper featuring royalty!Prowl and commoner!Jazz? Please check out Eminence by SporeFrog, which i loved so much I made a binding of it: archiveofourown.org/works/579062...

Just a quick little longstitch. Nothing hard, surely nothing would go wrong. Right? Right?

No glamour shots of the finished books yet. (Need to edit and upload the video still.) But a last progress post, because of course, I still had to do some fixing before being done done.

Getting closer to finishing binding this trilogy!
A little update and an early recap of mishaps.

Photo shows three books in various states of finished. One book is clamped with two C-clamps as the spine dries. The other is finished and the third and thickest is just a textbloock.
With the books I'm doing for others winding down and being almost done, I went back to an older project, I had lost the drive to continue with. Did some miscutting of coverboards and thus only one was finished and the other remained waiting.

Hardcover pamphlet of the fanfic Bundled for Safe Keeping by AnonymousAnteaterThe3rd. The paper used for the book cover has a pattern of orange jelly beans on a blue background.
Book opened up to show the half title page and the endpaper. The endpaper is orange with a subtle marbled pattern.
Book opened to show full title page. The text for the book title and author name are white on a bloby orange shape and the background is blue.
Book opened up to middle of the book. The thread used to sew the signature is visible.
It's a little wonky, but I tried my hand at doing a hardcover pamphlet bind of the #jazzprowl fic Bundled for Safe Keeping by AnonymousAnteaterThe3rd using a fully paper cover.

2025 Bookbinding Year End Review ▪️8 books - a bit less than last year, but not bad with the mid-year move - new printer/paperstocks to learn. ▪️2 - rebinds (1 paperback, 1 3pc bradel). Both gifts - forgot to take pics of the finished 3pc bradel 🥲 - it turned out really well. ▪️6 - fic binds (4 quartos, 4 paperbacks, 1 flexibound, 3 squareback wrapcovers) - 2 blind binds. ▪️ Also got into (& really enjoy) the related side hobbies of paper marbling - ebru + suminagashi. #bookbinding #fanbinding #papermarbling
6 picture collage of this year's binding and marbling projects. Pictures are different sizes but all are squarish. From left to right, top to bottom - 1. 4 mostly hard cased books, open to endpapers. Endpapers are vintage fox hunting horseback scene, warm toned printed marbled paper, dark blue and gold printed marbled paper, Christmas holly patterned paper. 2. Selection of marbled papers - some on colored paper (contrast!!), some metallics. 3. Front cover shot of 7 of the 8 binds. Titles are hard to make out - but Black Beauty and Holiday Magic are the top two faves. Black Beauty is all black design - folio size black faux leather wrap cover with black HTV- simple horse head design, with some vine patterns to fill up the front panel. Holiday Magic by pluperfectsunrise is a printable canvas quarto size wrap cover - simple holiday theme with holly, cardinals, red check ribbon design elements, on tan jute-like a background, with white text for title and author name. 4. 7 Books standing up on end displaying the head - demonstrating variety - deckled edge versus cut edge, edge painting versus plain versus speckled edge. The ribbons and endbands tend to match the cover colors pretty well, if I do say so myself. 5. Work in progress shot - rebind of Lady Tan’s Circle of Women. The shot is a color selection palette of toner reactive foils, ribbons, endbands, and the printed flats for the three-piece bradel. Ended up using the holo gold foil - worked well with the dilute green and tans of the cover design. 6. Selection of marble papers, continued - some suminagashi (fairly dilute) and smaller warm toned marbled papers.
